Portland Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler has an innovative new strategy to quell riots in the Oregon city that have continued to rage on every night for more than three months.

Black Lives Matter protesters on a march from Milwaukee to Washington, D.C., for the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech exchanged gunfire with Pennsylvania property owners Monday night — and one of the protesters was treated and released from a hospital after being hit by shotgun fire.

Twitter censors President Donald Trump for declaring he will enforce law and order, but issuing an ultimatum to randomly threaten police officers is A-OK with Twitter moderators. “A Twitter spokesman says activist and accused fraudster Shaun King’s threat to name Kenosha, Wisc., police officers is ‘not in violation’ of its rules — including its ban

The American media is breathing a huge sigh of relief. They have something else to report about than riots and mayhem in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The media has been given a gift; a Trump-supporting, bona fide, police-obsessed teenager who thought he was doing good when he gunned down three people during a riot in Kenosha. Now

Looting and rioting broke out in Minneapolis, Minnesota, again after the police were accused of shooting and killing another black man, but they say video shows that he committed suicide.

The CNN cable news network faced ridicule and mockery after social media users shared a scene from their coverage of riots with an incongruous chyron description.

In the latest edition of the NewsBusters Podcast, Tim Graham addresses the brand-new book by CNN’s in-house Fox basher, Brian Stelter. His Fox-bashing book is titled HOAX: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth. It’s selling like hotcakes in the feverish world of Trump haters. Stelter is selling it on his own

NBA Is Riddled With Woke Turmoil The NBA’s COVID-shortened season may soon get even shorter.

North Carolina Republican congressional candidate Madison Cawthorn delivered a speech with a powerful ending to the Republican National Convention on Wednesday, raising himself up from his wheelchair to stand “for our Republic.” What are the details? “This is a time of great adversity for our country, and I know something about adversity,” Cawthorn began, explaining

CNN interrupted Wednesday’s Republican National Committee proceedings four times (compared to the ZERO times they interrupted night three of the DNC), and they did it in the most disgusting of ways.

Vice President Mike Pence reiterated President Donald Trump’s call for law and order in his speech to the Republican National Committee on Wednesday night, promising the American people, “We’re not going to defund the police — not now, now ever.” What are the details?

The entire Milwaukee Bucks NBA team refused to take the court in their playoff game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, in protest over the police shooting of Jacob Blake — a black man — in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Google doesn’t seem to understand privacy. Perhaps its employees need to Google it. A recent lawsuit against Google included emails from employees claiming that the company’s privacy settings are so complicated, even its own engineers don’t fully understand them. The consumer fraud suit, filed by the state of Arizona in May against Google, alleged that

On Tuesday night, antifa rioters in Portland burst into City Hall, vandalizing it and at one point trying to burn down the building with people inside.

The ex-Democratic mayor of Eveleth, Minnesota, a small town in the state’s “Iron Range” mining country, pulled no punches during a speech at the Republican National Convention Tuesday night, blasting his former party’s nominee, Joe Biden, as “weak,” “scared,” and “sleepy.” Robert Vlaisavljevich, a self-described “lifelong Democrat,” called the 2020 election “make or break” for

Activision apparently never read its own tagline “KNOW YOUR HISTORY OR BE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT.” The company edited its new video game, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War to cater to communist China. Activision quietly replaced the game trailer with one far shorter. The new one noticeably omitted footage from the famous Tiananmen

On Tuesday the United States announced sanctions against Zhang Taotao and his Hong Kong-based Allyrise Technologies.

New filings in the case against the former Minneapolis police officers involved in the death of George Floyd show that a medical examiner said Floyd had enough fentanyl in his system that it could have been lethal. The report from the Hennepin County medical examiner released on Tuesday details his comments about the results of

The political party conventions keep slowly receding from their place in the national spotlight, especially with these virtual, genuine-imitation conventions. The audiences (and air times) seem to shrink every four years, and most people who tune in are the most committed partisans, not the most independent and persuadable voters. But one long-standing trend in media

Like many of America’s mayors, Portland’s Mayor Ted Wheeler has been exposed as the wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is not cool under fire. He is not the man or woman you want in the foxhole with you when it gets real. He is not a leader. His judgement

Critics of President Donald Trump pounced on the inclusion of a ceremony for citizenship naturalization on the second night of the Republican National Convention.

In what world would a speech given by a U.S. First Lady, where she expressed support for hard working mothers, showed charity for those afflicted by COVID-19, and expressed her desire for an end to racial strife in the country, be the subject of division and cruelty from famous and influential Americans? Well, in Hollywood,
